FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE secretary
of war today transmitted to congress a
communication from the Mississippi
river commission submitting remarks
upon the requirement of the river and
darhor act of August 81, 1886, that no
works OF bank protection or revetment
shall be executed anywhere on the Mis-
sissipp; rlver until after II shall be found
that the completion of contracting
works VIII not secure the desired stabil-
ity of the river banks. The commuaica-
ton says the requirement Is based
on the totally uurecogniZed theory
that the river if once regulated
will not change its natural bsuhs. It
says, in the opinion OF the committee. the
idea that the Mississippi river can be
permanently improved by contraction
works alone is purely visionary and thee
reticsl, and Is contradicted by experience
ana is not supported by any good author
ity. To adopt such system is in the
opinion of the commission to waste public

THE STORY OF LIFE.

BY JOHN C. SAKE.
Say. what is life? 'Tis to be born,
A helpless babe to greet the light
With a sharp wall, as if the morn
Foretold cloudy moon and night,
To weep, to sleep. and weep again,
With sunny smiles between-and then?
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing, sprightly boy.
Happy. despite his little woes,
Were he but conscious of his joys?
To be, in short, from two to ten,
A merry moody child-and then?
And then in coat and trowsers clad,
To learn to say the decaloguc,
And break 1t, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog.
A truant oft by field and fen,
And capture butteriies-and then?
And then, increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, a youth full grown,
hero in a mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own,
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sin-and then?
And then, at last to be man,
To fall in love. to WOO and wedl
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread.
To sue for fame with tongue aud pen,
And gain or lose the prize-and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled old,
To mourn the speed of life's decline,
To praise the scenes our youth beheld,
And dwell in memory oflang syne,
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
To drop into his grave-and then?

Removing a Finger Ring.

The New York Mail and Express relates
the experience which jeweler had with
customer:
"Will you please saw this ring off my
fnger9" 1t was an old woman who made
this remark to Broadway jeweler, and as
the worker in gold and silver took the wrin-
kled though fat and shapely hand into his
it trembled violently, and a tear dropped
upon the counter. excuse me" con
tinued the old lady, "but it is my wedding
ring; have never had it off since | was
married, forty-five years ago; have re-
Trained from having it cut, hoping that my
finger might get thinner and that 1 could
take it off without breaking it. :"
"And what if can remove it without
cutting?" inquired the jeweler
"But can you?" she said, looking up in
half credulous way; ''if you can, do it by
all MEANS"
Then the jeweler took the swollen finger
and wound it round from the top downward
in length of fiat rubber braid. The elias
tic cord exerted its force upon the tissues
of the finger gently and gradually until the
flesh seemed to be pushed down to the bone.
The old woman's hand was held above her
head for brief interval. Then the band
age was quickly uncorded and rewound
about the member. This was repeated
three times, and finally it was found, upon
uncovering the finger, that it was small
enough to admit the ring being removed
with ease.
~ have never failed but once, said the
jeweler, "and have removed many rings
from fingers even more swollen than yours.
